<egg|anbo|egg> ANBOcat is being catadioptric
<UmbralRaptor> awang: I'm at best a target of opportunity. (Also, why MSU? Do they want to steal materials science secrets from Bengali grad students?)
<UmbralRaptor> egg|anbo|egg: laser eyes!
<UmbralRaptor> Someone just brought a chair onto the bus.
* egg|anbo|egg cold hands from opening oysters
<UmbralRaptor> I assume that he's a grad student?
* egg|anbo|egg stealing warmth from ANBOcat
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: Ꙩ_ꙩ
<UmbralRaptor> egg|anbo|egg: apparently not, as he got off at the next stop.
<egg|anbo|egg> moving maybe?
<egg|anbo|egg> bringing the bed on the bus seems trickier though
<UmbralRaptor> egg|anbo|egg: cots could work. Also, I'm reminded of whitequark's guess that humans feel cool to cats.
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: we're still warmer than the surrounding air
<UmbralRaptor> Usually, anyway.
<egg|anbo|egg> (in general, maybe not right after handling oysters)
<UmbralRaptor> egg|anbo|egg: obviously ANBO needs to bring in Ellied and bofh for radio observations.
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: clearly

* Qboid gives UmbralRaptor a forward thermionic polynomial
* UmbralRaptor uses the polynomial in a CRT.
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: can cows be observed with a radiotelescope,
<UmbralRaptor> egg|anbo|egg: a radartelescope would probably be best.
<egg|anbo|egg> !wpn UmbralRaptor
* Qboid gives UmbralRaptor a gun with a polynomial attachment

* Qboid gives bofh an endomorphism which strongly resembles a snek

* Qboid gives egg|anbo|egg an unum nephroid
<bofh> UmbralRaptor: a radartelescope is just a radiotelescope w/a transmitter :P
<UmbralRaptor> Well, yes.
awang has quit [Ping timeout: 383 seconds]
<soundnfury> presumably a radiotelescope can be used to observe collisions between cows and electric fences
<egg|anbo|egg> bofh: should I build a radiotelescope at ANBO
* egg|anbo|egg stares at the endless not-quite-rain-but-the-ground-is-always-wet fog
<bofh> egg|anbo|egg: yes. I mean for a simple usable one all you need is an R820T2-tuner rtl-sdr, and those go for like $10
<egg|anbo|egg> surely I'd need some manner of antenna?
<soundnfury> egg|anbo|egg: yeah but you could probably make one out of coathangers
<soundnfury> (well, maybe not so much at centi/millimetric wavelengths)
<egg|anbo|egg> admittedly there's a TV antenna
* UmbralRaptor was under three impression that a home radio telescope would tend to cost RCT money, and require being seriously good with electronics.
<egg|anbo|egg> but I guess that mostly observes french TV rather than planets
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: I'm not good at electronics

* UmbralRaptor managed to indirectly destroy a magnetometer the last time he tried soldering. =\
<soundnfury> did you use too much flux? xD
<UmbralRaptor> heat
<soundnfury> but a magnetometer doesn't measure heat :P
* UmbralRaptor compresses flux at soundnfury
* soundnfury stores it in a capacitor
* soundnfury travels at 88 miles per hour
<egg|anbo|egg> UmbralRaptor: ANBOcat was sitting next to a box of oysters
<egg|anbo|egg> tbh I think the oysters are safe
<egg|anbo|egg> the lack of opposable thumbs makes opening oysters hard
<egg|anbo|egg> (also cosplay)
<UmbralRaptor> egg|anbo|egg: so presumably Tuco would do better?
<egg|anbo|egg> probably; can you use bolts to open an oyster?
<UmbralRaptor> Maybe.
